Janel Grant Files Motion To Strike Vince McMahon's Preliminary Statement, McMahon's Lawyer Responds

Vince McMahon filed a motion to compel arbitration earlier this week in the Janel Grant lawsuit.

In response, Janel Grant's attorneys, including Ann Callis, filed a motion to strike. The Court has been asked to strike the "Preliminary Statement" section of McMahon's motion and "admonish McMahon and his counsel in a manner the Court deems appropriate."

The document states the following:

"Instead of using his Motion in the appropriate manner—to raise legal arguments concerning whether this dispute must be submitted to arbitration—McMahon instead uses the Motion's 'Preliminary Statement' as a platform to launch vicious falsehoods attacking Janel's moral character in a transparent attempt to harass and intimidate her into submission."

"Yet even if McMahon's falsities concerning Janel's private life were true (they are not), these statements have no bearing on the merits of Janel's claims, let alone the Motion. McMahon's statements have no place in the Motion, which should be concerned solely with whether this dispute must be submitted to arbitration."

After the story was published, McMahon's lawyer, Jessica T. Rosenberg, released the following response:

"Plaintiff had no right to bring this case in a public court but did so anyway. Now that she chose this public forum to falsely accuse Mr. McMahon, she wants to silence his ability to respond. She can't have it both ways."

We will keep you posted.
